Despite their intense nature, they can be delightfully playful, often finding joy in friendly sparring matches."[2]

Previous Versions[]
Eyries were originally released at the launch of Neopets (15th November 1999) as Cerpull, which resembled a cross between a Grarrl and a medieval dragon. A year later, it was redesigned as Tatsu, which shared traits with both the Cerpull before it and the Eyrie to come, with its twisted horns and beak-like mouth. This pet was unpopular with many former Cerpull owners that in early 2001, it was finally replaced by the Eyrie in a contest was held between three different designs to see which one the users liked best; the one seen below is the winner. This design was later tweaked to make its backside and wings more visible.[3]
